 Tim Tebow makes a list of the NFL's Top 100 players, while Mark Sanchez is left off.

Tim Tebow hasn’t beaten out Mark Sanchez for the Jets starting quarterback job, but according to his peers, he’s the better quarterback.

The NFL Network recently released a list of the top 100 players of 2012, as voted on by current NFL players. Tebow, who came to the Jets in an offseason trade after leading the Broncos to a surprising playoff victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers, was ranked 95th on the list. Sanchez was not ranked at all.

“It truly is an honor for me to be on this list, because there are so many great players in the NFL,” Tebow said in an NFL Network interview. “And for just a few of them to respect me enough to put me on this list, it really means a lot.”

Still, Tebow is the backup with Gang Green, and his role has yet to be determined.

“I have a great relationship with Mark,” he said. “And we’re working great every single day together. I feel like we're pushing each other to get better.”
